It hangs from the end of a phuang malai, from the corners of a ceremonial frame, or around the rim of an offering tray, and it is the element that makes Thai fresh-flower work move and catch the eye. Our Malai Uba takes that traditional strand and makes it in cotton, so it keeps its shape and its colour instead of lasting a single day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to hang your Malai Uba\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn uba is made to hang, and where you hang it is part of its meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn a spirit house\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is an offering that stays, a daily mark of respect rather than one made for a single occasion. \u003cstrong\u003eIn an office\u003c\/strong\u003e, hung by the entrance or above a desk, it is there to invite good fortune into the work done in that room. \u003cstrong\u003eIn a library or a study\u003c\/strong\u003e, it brings a calm, auspicious presence to a place meant for thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is sold per piece, you can hang one alone or order two for a matching pair on either side of a doorway or an altar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMalai Uba: a gift that keeps its place\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiving a Malai Uba is a way of wishing someone good fortune in the place where they live or work.
